Good service - ordered a Guinness and the keg kicked so it took a bit to get my beer, which was totally understandable but they ended up giving it me on the house which was awesome of them

Authentic. That's all you need to say about The Gate. Food is unexpectedly tremendous. All the Irish favorites delivered with the ingredients and service you would hope for. Staff is the best. #LOVE

Why is nobody talking about the cowboy that is always reading at the bar??? I want the full story, we've never had the nerve of disturbing him and ask him what's the deal. Anyone?

St. James Gate has the BEST Cobb Salald in New York City. Well worth ordering. I thought nothing could beat Hair of the Dog's Cobb Salad, but thank the heavens I stumbled upon this pot of gold!

Best pub in the city! Great drinks, great staff (heart you Paul and Kevin) and great music. P.s. Order the fries - you won't be disappointed.

The kind of homey, welcoming neighborhood bar that every New Yorker dreams of having on their corner.

Hot drinks during the winter months and a tasty, solid menu!

The tall blonde barmaid doesn't want to serve anyone other than a regular. Makes eye contact only to purposefully ignore you. Lucky the bald Irish barman is friendly!

Don't be thrown off by the prices, buy-backs happen often. The high prices are there to keep the gin mill crowd away.

I don't remember the last time I had Shepherds Pie, nothing like Irish meal on cold football night!! Talking about food!

Great spot for St Patricks Day! As Irish as you can get! Drunk and green ;) wait they dont have green beer though!

The service is great! A waitress was helping the patrons in the bar area get drinks when the bar was crowded.

The best fish'n'chips I've ever had the pleasure to know. $18 is expensive for bar food, but worth trying.
Sasha C.February 7, 2010
They have the best pancakes ever. If you can find better pancakes anywhere in this city, let me know. Plus, they pull a perfect pour.

A place where the bartender actually buys you a drink once in a while. Great Pub on the upper west side
